Difficult choices to make, which is not a bad problem to have. Between the crab and crawfish items, we settled on the following-Crawfish Bisque (outstanding flavor and smooth creamy texture and the stuffed heads were so so good), Crawfish Marguerite (best soft shell crab he ever had), Blackened Redfish with Crawfish Cream Sauce (redfish cooked and seasoned perfectly). Finished it off with the bread pudding which is dense and covered in a caramel sauce. The atmosphere takes you back in time and the southern hospitality is just as notable as the delicious food.

Brittany was our host and rocked it thanks fer the awesome service and food. I am originally from Southern Louisiana and I have been living in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania for the past 26 years. When I come home to visit, I always have to go to the Yellow Bowl multiple times! My favorite place to eat!

This is my first time back at the Yellow Bowl Restaurant since probably the late 1980’s. It was a delight. The food was delicious and the service was fantastic. I had the crawfish platter and I can say that it had the greatest assortment of delicious crawfish dishes that I have ever had. It was also nice to eat in a place where you could eat and talk to each other without having to compete with loud music playing all over. Thanks for still being there and offering a very nice southern Louisiana dining experience.

I really like the small plate option as I had room for bread pudding!

I’ve only eaten here once before and the service was good. Tonight, horrible service (waited for our waitress forever, multiple times), warm beer (asked for a cup of ice). It wasn’t crowded (this was during Covid so it wasn’t at capacity) I don’t want to rate too horribly though because maybe it was just an off night (it happens), so I just took away one star. Soft shell crabs were huge. I had the crab platter and husband had crawfish margarite. The crabmeat au gratin was really remarkable. I’ve also heard the buffet is good so maybe go during lunch for the buffet.

If you want authentic, delicious Cajun food, this is the place! Crawfish bisque and etouffee are legendary. Warm, friendly service. A local gem.

We just left this place. Service was just OK. Food was less than ok. The gumbo didn’t taste like gumbo. My grilled plate of fish and shrimp was so salty I could only eat one shrimp and a couple bites of the fish. The shrimp cocktail consisted of six shrimp the size of dimes. When we quietly let the server know about the salty dish she left with it before we could explain the rest. They gave us half off my dish so we still came out with a $66 bill. Never again.
